STATS

Metro Vancouver* home sales registered on the MLS® in February continued the recent trend of slower-than-average sales, seeing a ten per cent decline over the same period last year.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,648 in February 2026, a 9.8 per cent decrease from the 1,827 sales recorded in February 2025. This was 28.7 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,310).

“With each passing data point, the pace of sales running well-below long-term averages are no longer a surprise – it’s become the new norm,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “A surprising finding this February, however, is that home sellers appear less eager to list their homes relative to last year with new listings down about seven percent, mostly driven by fewer listings in the apartment segment.”

There were 4,734 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in February 2026. This represents a 6.4 per cent decrease compared to the 5,057 properties listed in February 2025. This was 7.1 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (4,421).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 13,545, a 6.3 per cent increase compared to February 2025 (12,744). This is 37 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (9,886).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for February 2026 is 12.6 per cent. By property type, the ratio is nine per cent for detached homes, 16.6 per cent for attached, and 14.1 per cent for apartments.

Analysis of the historical data suggests downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.

“With fewer sellers coming to market with their properties than last year, a pick-up in demand heading into the spring could result in a stagnation of standing inventory, which may support prices around current levels,” Lis said. “With sales slightly outpacing our 2026 forecast year-to-date, the spring market will be the litmus test of whether we continue along this new normal, or if we see any significant surprises.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,100,300. This represents a 6.8 per cent decrease over February 2025 and a 0.1 per cent decrease compared to January 2026.

Sales of detached homes in February 2026 reached 427, a 10.5 per cent decrease from the 477 detached sales recorded in February 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,835,900. This represents an 8.8 per cent decrease from February 2025 and a 0.8 per cent decrease compared to January 2026.

Sales of apartment homes reached 824 in February 2026, a 15.6 per cent decrease compared to the 976 sales in February 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $708,200. This represents a 6.8 per cent decrease from February 2025 and a 0.5 per cent increase compared to January 2026.

Attached home sales in February 2026 totalled 387, a 7.8 per cent increase compared to the 359 sales in February 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,046,100. This represents a 5.6 per cent decrease from February 2025 and a 0.3 per cent increase compared to January 2026.

Last year’s market trends continued in January as home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* were 28.5 per cent lower than last year, setting the year off to a quieter start.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,107 in January 2026, a 28.7 per cent decrease from the 1,552 sales recorded in January 2025. This was 30.9 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (1,602).

"On their own, the January sales appear alarming, but it’s important to put these figures in the context of the past few years. Last year ended with one of the lowest sales totals in over two decades, and so it’s not surprising that the January sales figures were fourth slowest in over two decades as well. Market momentum is a slowly evolving force, and in many ways, the January figures represent a market that continues slowly evolving to what may be a new normal."

Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics

There were 5,157 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in January 2026. This represents a 7.3 per cent decrease compared to the 5,566 properties listed in January 2025. This was 19.4 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (4,318).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 12,628, a 9.9 per cent increase compared to January 2025 (11,494). This is 38 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (9,153).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for January 2026 is 9.1 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 6.7 per cent for detached homes, 11.1 per cent for attached, and 10.3 per cent for apartments.

“Our recent 2026 forecast suggests this year is likely to resemble 2025 on many fronts, and we expect sales to remain tepid. When paired with sellers remaining eager to list, inventory will likely remain elevated relative to historical averages and, as a result, we expect prices to finish the year relatively unchanged,” Lis said. “As consumers adjust to the ongoing backdrop of political and economic uncertainty, we expect a degree of pent-up demand to re-enter the market at some point. Whether it will happen in 2026 remains an open question, and we’ll be watching the market closely for signs of improvement.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,101,900. This represents a 5.7 per cent decrease over January 2025 and a 1.2 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.

Sales of detached homes in January 2026 reached 300, a 21.1 per cent decrease from the 380 detached sales recorded in January 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,850,800. This represents a 7.3 per cent decrease from January 2025 and a 1.5 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.

Sales of apartment homes reached 554 in January 2026, a 34.5 per cent decrease compared to the 846 sales in January 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $704,600. This represents a 5.9 per cent decrease from January 2025 and a 0.8 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.

Attached home sales in January 2026 totalled 246, a 23.4 per cent decrease compared to the 321 sales in January 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,043,400. This represents a 5.4 per cent decrease from January 2025 and a 1.2 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.

Residential property sales in Metro Vancouver

Home sales registered in the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver* finished the year down 10 per cent, marking the lowest annual sales total in over twenty years.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 23,800 in 2025, a 10.4 per cent decrease from the 26,561 sales recorded in 2024, and a 9.3 per cent decrease from the 26,249 sales in 2023.

Last year’s sales total was 24.7 per cent below the 10-year annual sales average (31,625).

"This year was one for the history books. Although the sales total was the lowest in over two decades, Realtors were still busy listing properties. Sellers brought the highest total of listings to market on record since the mid-1990s, eclipsing the previous record high in 2008 by a little over 1,000 listings."

Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics

Properties listed on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver totalled 65,335 in 2025. This represents an 8.2 per cent increase compared to the 60,388 properties listed in 2024. This was 28.4 per cent above the 50,893 properties listed in 2023.

The total number of properties listed last year was 13.1 per cent above the region’s 10-year total annual average of (57,782).

Currently, the total number of homes listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 12,550, a 14.6 per cent increase compared to December 2024 (10,948). This is 34.8 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (9,308).

“The forecast we put out last January noted a foreseeable downside risk, which while prescient, unfortunately materialized in 2025,” said Lis. “Specifically, we noted that trade tensions with the USA could negatively impact sales and prices, and this downside risk came to pass. The upshot, however, is that the negative impact of these trade tensions appears to be easing, and consumer sentiment has improved modestly over the second half of the year.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,114,800. This represents a 4.5 per cent decrease over December 2024 and a 0.8 per cent decrease compared to November 2025.

“With sales down and inventory remaining plentiful, prices eased across all property types since the start of 2025. Sales and prices weren’t the only metrics that came down, borrowing costs fell nearly one full percentage point,” said Lis. “With lower prices, lower borrowing costs, and plenty of inventory to choose from, homebuyers in 2026 are starting the year with favorable conditions. Whether these conditions translate into a market with stronger demand will be the million-dollar question – and we’ll be monitoring this story closely as it unfolds.”

Residential property sales in Metro Vancouver
Metro Vancouver* home-sale trends observed in October continued in November, as sales registered on the MLS® remained lower than this time last year.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,846 in November 2025, a 15.4 per cent decrease from the 2,181 sales recorded in November 2024. This was 20.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,324).

"“As the year draws to a close, the data continues telling a story of a market with many buyers patiently waiting and sellers adjusting to market conditions not seen in years. Inventory remains healthy, providing buyers ample choice, which, by contrast, is pushing sellers to accept that pricing must reflect this new reality. Buyers and sellers are striking deals when their expectations are aligned and reflective of the current market – not the market of years ago.”"
Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics
There were 3,674 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in November 2025.

“As sales volumes remain subdued and inventory remains plentiful, properties are taking longer to sell, and pricing has continued to soften slightly across most market segments,” Lis said. “With borrowing costs likely to remain steady into the new year, any uptick in demand will need to arise from a significant change in buyer sentiment. As December is typically among the quietest months of the year in terms of market activity, the prevailing trends suggest we should expect a quiet close to a year marked by considerable uncertainty.”

"October is typically the last month of the year where sales activity sees a seasonal uptick, but sales still fell short of last year’s figures and the ten-year seasonal average.

Easing home prices help lift sales in August

Wednesday, September 3, 2025

Easing prices brought more Metro Vancouver* homebuyers off the sidelines in August, with home sales on the MLS® up nearly three per cent from August last year.

Sales

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,959 in August 2025, a 2.9 per cent increase from the 1,904 sales recorded in August 2024. This was 19.2 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,424).

"The August sales figures add further confirmation that sales activity across Metro Vancouver appears to be recovering, albeit somewhat slowly, from the challenging first half of the year. Sales in the detached and attached segments are up over ten per cent from last August, which suggests buyers shopping in more expensive price points are re-entering the market in a meaningful way."

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for August 2025 is 12.4 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 9.3 per cent for detached homes, 15.8 per cent for attached, and 14 per cent for apartments.

“Prices have eased around two per cent since the start of the year and are down about one per cent month over month in August, signalling that sellers have been willing to lower price expectations,” Lis said.

“As sellers’ and buyers’ expectations have become more aligned, transaction volume has picked up. Newly listed properties remain in line with their ten-year seasonal average however, which when paired with increasing sales activity, is likely to diminish the available inventory. This also means the window of plentiful opportunity for buyers may soon begin closing if these trends continue.”

MLS® HPI

Sales recovery continues in July
Home sales registered on the MLS® across Metro Vancouver in July extended the early signs of recovery that emerged in June, now down just two per cent from July of last year.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,286 in July 2025, a two per cent decrease from the 2,333 sales recorded in July 2024. This was 13.9 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,656).

“The June data showed early signs of sales activity in the region turning a corner, and these latest figures for July are confirming this emerging trend,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics and data analytics. “Although the Bank of Canada held the policy rate steady in July, this decision could help bolster sales activity by providing more certainty surrounding borrowing costs at a time where economic uncertainty lingers due to ongoing trade negotiations with the USA.”

There were 5,642 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in July 2025. This represents a 0.8 per cent increase compared to the 5,597 properties listed in July 2024. This was 12.4 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (5,018).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 17,168, a 19.8 per cent increase compared to July 2024 (14,326). This is 40.2 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (12,249).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for July 2025 is 13.8 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 10.2 per cent for detached homes, 16.7 per cent for attached, and 15.9 per cent for apartments.

“With the rate of homes coming to market holding steady in July, the inventory of homes available for sale on the MLS® has stabilized at around 17,000. This level of inventory provides buyers plenty of selection to choose from,” Lis said. “Although sales activity is now recovering, this healthy level of inventory is sufficient to keep home prices trending sideways over the short term as supply and demand remain relatively balanced. However, if the recovery in sales activity accelerates, these favorable conditions for home buyers may begin slowly slipping away, as inventory levels decline, and home sellers gain more bargaining power.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,165,300. This represents a 2.7 per cent decrease over July 2024 and a 0.7 per cent decrease compared to June 2025.

Sales of detached homes in July 2025 reached 660, a 4.1 per cent decrease from the 688 detached sales recorded in July 2024. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,974,400. This represents a 3.6 per cent decrease from July 2024 and a 1 per cent decrease compared to June 2025.

Sales of apartment homes reached 1,158 in July 2025, a 2.9 per cent decrease compared to the 1,192 sales in July 2024. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $743,700. This represents a 3.2 per cent decrease from July 2024 and a 0.6 per cent decrease compared to June 2025.

Attached home sales in July 2025 totalled 459, a five per cent increase compared to the 437 sales in July 2024. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,099,200. This represents a 2.3 per cent decrease from July 2024 and a 0.4 per cent decrease compared to June 2025.

After a turbulent first half of the year, home sales registered on the MLS® across Metro Vancouver* are showing emerging signs of a recovery, down ten per cent year-over-year – halving the decline seen last month.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,181 in June 2025, a 9.8 per cent decrease from the 2,418 sales recorded in June 2024. This was 25.8 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,940).

"On a trended basis, signs are emerging that sales activity is rounding the corner after a challenging first half to the year, with the year-over-year decline in sales in June halving the decline we saw in May. If this momentum continues, it may not be long before sales are up year-over-year, which would mark a shift toward a market with more demand than the unusually low demand we’ve seen so far this year."

Andrew Lis, GVR director of economics and data analytics

There were 6,315 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in June 2025.

“As home sales regain their footing, inventory levels aren’t building as quickly as we’ve seen lately,” Lis said.

“Most market segments remain in balanced market conditions, which has generally kept prices trending sideways since the start of the year. With over 17,000 listings on the market right now, and with mortgage rates down around two per cent since last summer, buyers are enjoying some of the most favourable conditions seen in years.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,173,100. This represents a 2.8 per cent decrease over June 2024 and a 0.3 per cent decrease compared to May 2025.

Sales of detached homes in June 2025 reached 657, a 5.3 per cent decrease from the 694 detached sales recorded in June 2024. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,994,500. This represents a 3.2 per cent decrease from June 2024 and a 0.1 per cent decrease compared to May 2025.

Sales of apartment homes reached 1,040 in June 2025, a 16.5 per cent decrease compared to the 1,245 sales in June 2024. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $748,400. This represents a 3.2 per cent decrease from June 2024 and a 1.2 per cent decrease compared to May 2025.

Inventory levels across Metro Vancouver* reach another ten-year high, while home sales registered on the MLS® remained muted.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,228 in May 2025, an 18.5 per cent decrease from the 2,733 sales recorded in May 2024. This was 30.5 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (3,206). 

"While there are emerging signs that sales activity might be turning a corner, sales in May were below the ten-year seasonal average, which suggests that many some buyers are still sitting on the sidelines or are being especially selective,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics and data analytics. “On a year-to-date basis, sales in 2025 rank among the slowest to start the year in the past decade, closely mirroring the trends seen in 2019 and 2020. It’s worth noting that sales rebounded significantly in the latter half of 2020, but whether sales in 2025 might follow a similar pattern remains the million-dollar question."

Andrew Lis, GVR director of economics and data analytics

There were 6,620 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in May 2025. This represents a 3.9 per cent increase compared to the 6,374 properties listed in May 2024. This was 9.3 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (6,055). 

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 17,094, a 25.7 per cent increase compared to May 2024 (13,600). This is 45.9 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (11,718). 

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for May 2025 is 13.4 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 10.2 per cent for detached homes, 17.4 per cent for attached, and 14.7 per cent for apartments. 

“With some of the healthiest levels of inventory seen in years, many sellers are adjusting price expectations, which has provided buyers more negotiating room and kept a firm lid on price escalation over the past few months,” Lis said.

“From a seasonal perspective, sales in the summer months are typically quieter than the spring, but with such an unusually slow spring, we may have an unusually busy summer with so many having delayed their purchasing decisions. Either way, the market continues tilting in favour of buyers, which bodes well for anyone looking to make a purchase this summer.” 

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,177,100. This represents a 2.9 per cent decrease over May 2024 and a 0.6 per cent decrease compared to April 2025. 

Sales of detached homes in May 2025 reached 654, a 22.7 per cent decrease from the 846 detached sales recorded in May 2024. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,997,400. This represents a 3.2 per cent decrease from May 2024 and a 1.2 per cent decrease compared to April 2025. 

Sales of apartment homes reached 1,087 in May 2025, an 18.8 per cent decrease compared to the 1,338 sales in May 2024. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $757,300. This represents a 2.4 per cent decrease from May 2024 and a 0.7 per cent decrease compared to April 2025. 

Attached home sales in May 2025 totalled 469, a 10.3 per cent decrease compared to the 523 sales in May 2024. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,106,800. This represents a 3.4 per cent decrease from May 2024 and a 0.4 per cent increase compared to April 2025.
